Parallel line applications
GUID-9980E92C-EDB1-4E0C-A4BD-167C896199A1 v1
This type of networks are defined as those networks where the parallel transmission
lines terminate at common nodes at both ends.
The three most common operation modes are:
1. parallel line in service.
2.
parallel line out of service and grounded.
3. parallel line out of service and not grounded.
Parallel line in service
GUID-F792E7FD-2265-4250-9026-1F03039FB0B5 v1
This type of application is very common and applies to all normal sub-transmission
and transmission networks.
Let us analyze what happens when a fault occurs on the parallel line see figure
154.
From symmetrical components, we can derive the impedance Z at the relay point for
normal lines without mutual coupling according to equation 208.
